An Interview with Zhu Zuoyan 2 | Questioning the long-term safety of genetically modified foods is "a bit of a mess."
Is GM food generally safe?
This may be the most controversial issue for the "reverse" and "reversal" parties.
Although the “tweeners†all claim that genetically modified foods have passed the safety evaluation test, “reversals†still have doubts: The crops that humans now consume have a history of thousands of years, and genetically modified foods have only been for decades, so short There is not enough time to test whether it is absolutely safe.
Recently, Zhu Zuoyan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an exclusive interview with Yu Xin News that the issue is "unfounded and slovenly" and that it is "for crimes against genetically engineered foods, and there is no word for it".
According to the website of the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhu Zuoyan was born in Jixian County, Hunan Province. He was born in September 1941. He was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997 and is now a researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhu Zuoyan has made a number of important achievements with pioneering significance and laid a theoretical foundation for the breeding of fish genes. The world's first genetically modified Yellow River carp was also born in the hands of the team he led. However, 31 years later, this fish has not "walked" out of the laboratory and "walked" to the dining table. The transgenic salmon developed later than the transgenic fish has been approved for listing in the United States.
Zhu Zuoyan talks about genetic safety issues
Possibility #1: Transfer the gene of one food into another food
News: Even if you eat genetically modified foods, will the food transfer gene not have any impact on the human body?
Zhu Zuoyan: It cannot be said that the word "transgenic" is too broad.
First of all, we need to see what genes are transferred. For example, the gene for golden rice is transferred to the carotenoid gene of vitamin A precursor.
Carotenoids are, in fact, eaten from other places and can be consumed by taking medicines. Vitamin A does not affect the human body.
Turn such a gene into rice, which originally contained no carotenoids. Now it contains, like other carrots, this kind of nutrients. What do you think has influenced this?
News: What do you make of genetically modified salmon?
Zhu Zuoyan: The (genetically modified) squid we made was, plainly, the hybridization of a grass carp growth gene with squid.
Because the grass carp grows faster, it takes out the genes that make grass carp grow faster, crosses the carp and puts it into the carp. If you say GM, you are transferring such a gene.
Grass carp, people are eating every day, squid, and people are eating every day. What's wrong with this? There are no problems or doubts.
In this way, even stupid people can understand it.
However, when the word "GM" was heard, people only knew that it was a genetically modified gene and did not know what it was.
News: This safety evaluation experiment for squid has also been done?
Zhu Zuoyan: Yes, all done.
News: As soon as the country approves it, it can be listed.
Zhu Zuoyan: There are still many procedures that need to be taken step by step. This does not know the events of the Year of the Monkey.
Possibility #2: Transfer non-food genes into food
News: Is there any other GM situation?
Zhu Zuoyan: Another case of genetically modified organisms is that there is no such thing in the food that was originally eaten. Now that it has been transferred to, we may have some concerns. For example, the insect-resistant protein, you turn a gene into rice or corn to fight insects.
Bt protein is an insect-resistant protein. After the bollworm on cotton is eaten, it cannot digest, and the intestine will swell and eventually die.
After this gene is transferred to rice, it can resist insects and reduce pesticides.
But the question came, cotton can, because we do not eat cotton. But we must eat rice, is this safe? People are worried.
News: Does this worry make sense?
Zhu Zuoyan: Scientific experiments show that first, people do not respond to this protein. After eating, this protein will not produce (secondary) effects on humans; second, it will contain very little, very few, and very few traces of rice in the rice.
What is the degree of micro?
According to the situation of pests in the field, pesticides can be used, and one kind of very effective pesticide is this insect-resistant protein pesticide. When the farmers sprayed in the fields, the goddess scattered like flowers, desperately sprinkled, all in the air. At this time, the amount of people who sprayed the medicine was thousands of times that in rice.
No one was worried about this matter. No one was worried that farmers would use this pesticide to make him ill. But there are millions of parts of this (transgenic) rice, and some people care less.
Of course, some people have said that science has proved that "in the first year and the second year, I did not have a (deputy) role." What about the third year?
This is a bit tedious.
澎湃 News: Why are you talking about?
Zhu Zuoyan: Existing science has proved that there are no problems. You said that there are no problems in the future.
Then I can say that any kind of thing, for example, wild vegetables that have been developed, a lot of fashionable green foods, such as leaves or grass that were not eaten before, have become new market products. Who did the experiment? No one has done any experiment. This is instead promoted as green food.
I can also ask, "Well, you ate today, and you did not have a (deputy) role; after two years of eating, did you have a (deputy) role, did you have any (deputy) role for future generations?" Still you can ask this. problem.
These questions are equivalent to "when you want to add sins, why do you have no words?"
